Burns Unbound

Release your inner bard at the National Museum of Rural Life. Everyone is welcome to join this celebration and exploration of all things Burns with music, dancing, food, storytelling and mice!

Take part in animal handling courtesy of Animalman Mini Zoo and learn more about the animal behind one of Rabbie’s most famous poems; join fiddle and dancing duo Jeana Leslie and Siobhan Miller for some traditional Scottish music on Saturday and the Wildlings Duo on Sunday; a family trail will give everyone the chance to explore the museum’s collections; and Wendy Barrie from the Scottish Food Guide will show you how to create the perfect Burns Supper.
